Shazam! Fury of the gods director David F. Sandberg has responded to the film’s latest delay.
The release date of Shazam! Fury of the gods has been through quite a long odyssey. Originally, the film was to be released after the flash but has been pushed back to December 2022 because both the flash and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom have been delayed. Unfortunately, the film was delayed again, which was apparently due to Warner Bros. Discovery not being able to market the film this year. However, director David F Sandberg remains enthusiastic about it.
Shazam! Fury of the gods‘ original release date had the film clash with Avatar: The Way of the Water. The director didn’t expect the movie to be able to compete with the film and sees the delay as a good thing. This will allow the Shazam sequel to see on as many big screens as possible even though the film will be fully wrapped in just a few weeks. Additionally, he also commented that it was still three months earlier than his first release date:
